  1. Yeah yeah..... blame the liberals for something else..... Actually I think what you are referring to are the conservationists. That being said I am both of the above.... But I've rarely met a roasted goose or duck that I didn't like. (especially when served crispy with a black cherry Kirsch sauce. And maybe some sauteed mushrooms and saffron rice. So here's an idea: Have a poultry processing plant right next to the wind mills. You can run it with spare power from the wind generation.

  2. Argentina , land of Evita Peron. (not Venezuela).
  3. Bravo Rockport, Mo! We need a lot more forward thinking people like those folks. Here's another idea until that happens. Put a large bubble over D.C. to capture all the hot air coming out of politicians mouths. Maybe on the way in it could also power a turbine. We can call it "Windbag Power".
  4. This is funny. You know how Google targets ads to you based on your surfing habits? Well I just opened up a Gmail account that I hadn't used in a while and noticed that I had hundreds of items in the Spam folder. So I proceed to open it up in order to delete them all. What do I now see as a Google Banner ad? A link to a site offering Spam Recipes. (You know, that questionable meat in a can).
  5. I had XP on a dell PIII with 128 ram. A little sluggish, but it ran. That was before SP1 however. Not sure if the service packs take up more ram.

  11. " Next round I will probably buy those new Mitsubishi hybrid units, where you have a wall mount unit similar to a window unit and a base unit you can position wherever you want outside. Much more efficient than ductwork." I'd like to learn more about that. It "cooled down" to 105 today. The humidity has subsided a little too. The house doesn't feel like a steam room too much anymore. Hope it dries out.
  12. Pete C: Thanks for the quotes from Heinlein. Back to the weather: Back on Long Island, the forecast around this time of year was usually:Hazy, Hot, and Humid. I thought THAT was bad. Out here it's : Miserable, Moldy, and Mind numbing. Too hot to even think. 110 and humid today.
